Of course I had to translate that with my google add-on. I have a hard enough time with Spanish, and that has almost the exact same alphabet. Language ain't my thing. If I moved to Russia, I'd be totally illiterate there for the rest of my life.
Although, a lot of English is spoken there, I think. I actually had a dinner date with a Russian woman who was quite fluent. One of the things she told me was that in at least some sections of Russia, women outnumber men by about a 52:48 margin, which she said is huge. That's why Russian mail-order brides are a common "export" from Russia. It's not gold-mining on their part. Too many women cannot get married there and just want a home/family life.
